Two New Middle Busters<br />
for F-20 <strong>and</strong> F-30 <strong>Tractors</strong><br />
No.7 Push Type<br />
No.8 Long Beam<br />
HERE are two new <strong>Farmall</strong> busters which are rapidly winning<br />
the approval of cotton growers in the South <strong>and</strong> Southwest.<br />
One is the No. 7 push-type buster, built in two- <strong>and</strong><br />
three-row, <strong>and</strong> the other the No. 8 two-furrow, a buster with<br />
extra long beams.<br />
On the No. 7 the two front bottoms are located ahead of the<br />
tractor drive wheels with two full-row widths between them.<br />
The tractor drive wheels run in the furrows made by these bottoms<br />
<strong>and</strong> therefore always have good traction. This buster<br />
Illust. 47. The <strong>Farmall</strong> No. 7 three-row push-type<br />
middle buster. This size is popular for use with F-30<br />
tractors. The two-row is more popular for the F-20<br />
<strong>and</strong> for use as a skip-row buster.<br />
builds exceptionally uniform beds. On the threerow<br />
the center bottom is attached to the rear of<br />
the tractor.<br />
The No. 7 is regularly equipped with 14-inch<br />
middle-buster bottoms. The ,equipment which<br />
can be supplied to meet special conditions includes<br />
plain or notched rolling coulters, disk<br />
attachment, spring-trip attachment, etc.<br />

Illust. 46. This shows the No: 7 middle buster at<br />
work. Note that the front bottoms travel in front of<br />
the tractor drive wheels.<br />
The long beams on the No. 8 middle buster<br />
place the bottoms far enough back to permit<br />
setting the tractor drive wheels so that they<br />
will not run on any of the dirt turned up from<br />
previously made furrows. This assures uniform<br />
height of beds. The depth of the bottoms is<br />
controlled by gauge wheels. The beams are held<br />
to their proper row width by means of a double<br />
hobble on the rear end. This hobble also holds<br />
the bottoms level <strong>and</strong> prevents twisting strains<br />
on the front ends of the beams. The long hitch<br />
assures good penetration <strong>and</strong> steady operation.<br />

middle-buster bottoms.<br />
Equipment available on<br />
special order includes<br />
different types of bottoms,<br />
spring-trip beams, plain or<br />
notched rolling coulters, etc.<br />
